I've stickied this to help everyone find it. We had something similar before the crash which was seperated into three categories. When this thread starts to get a bit bigger we'll do the same again.
If anyone finds a useful site, please add it to the list.

I operate a 3D laser scanner which can gather cross-sectional data. I am located in San Francisco, US. If you have an aircraft that requires scanning for 3D data, consider this option. The pricing will vary greatly for various reasons. However if I am on the road scanning at museums across the US, and you provide me a list of the aircraft you need scanned, then I might be able to get to them. I can provide you with raw data or I can extract the cross sections for you using RapidformXOR. Send me email at wloaero@aol.com for requests and how much detail you need on the scans.

For aircraft manuals, which often contain detail info, check this site out. There's a webshop too, and it has some manuals that are not too common anyway.

Two great sites for looking up airfoil data:
http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/ads/aircraft.html - data
http://www.ae.uiuc.edu/m-selig/ads/coord_database.html - graphics
These are extremely useful, especially when doing multi-engined planes for instance, as it's a right nightmare trying to make the engine nacelles match the wing as seen in drawings/photos, if the airfoil doesn't have the right shape.
Some assorted sites that might be of use, at least for background:
Ejectorseats: http://www.ejectorseats.co.uk/
http://www.ejectionsite.com/frame_sg.htm
Ammo & guns: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/index.htm
http://www.brokawarms.com/library/firearmmanuals.html
http://guns.connect.fi/gow/gunwriters.html

Aircraft stuff: http://www.airbornegrafix.com/HistoricAircraft/historicaircraft.htm
http://www.f-106deltadart.com/home.htm
http://arizonamodels.com/
This last one has some great blueprints of WW1 machineguns (Look under Guns&Ammo for LMG 08/15 for instance) and other stuff for WW1-buffs.

Didn't see this one posted yet, ran across it hunting for MRAP references. Has a very wide selection of high resolution photos of ground, air and navy equipment. Unfortunately the menu is in Korean I believe, but easy enough to figure out after a bit of experimenting.
